T0 all whom it may concern.'

Be it. known that I., OnLANnO (l. MOORE, a citizen ot the United States, and a resident of Morrow, in the county of 'arren and State of Ohio, have invented a new and lmproved Engine-Feed-vater Regulator, ot' which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to improvements in feed water and fuel control mechanism such as described in applications for patent. tiled by me in Ithe-United States latent (Hlice under date of December 24, 1910, and bearing Serial No. 599,175 and Serial No. 599,176, respectively, to which appli lations cross'referenee is here made.

vThe present invention is distinguished over the previous art and the applications referred to,y as having among its principal objects to provide simple and etticient .means for regulating the length of stroke of a reciprocating pump connected with the water supply, to con form with the working con; ditions of engine and boiler; and to eliminate friction of the moving parts in the regulating mechanism.

To facilitate the description of the present invention. the various instriunentalities, shown in the drawings` and herein described, are grou ed as forming distinct and classitied meclianisms, and to the more readily ascertain to which of the roups each instrumentality belongs, the iiesignating numerals have been separated. Thus, the pump mechanism per .se will be designated by the numeral-20, and thenumerals from 21 up will be employed to designate the parts of the said um mechanism; the flow mechanii- .u will e d;

designation of the elements .forming the differential mechanism, while the numerals from 201 up will be employed to designate' the instrumentalities forming the said dif,- ferential mechanism.

The pump meckamena-As seen in the drawings the pump mechanism consists primarily of two cylinders 21 and 22. Each cylinder is suitably mounted upon a casin 22 The casing 23 is structurally mounte upon the engine frame for which the regulating mechanism is intended. Each of the cylinders 21-22 is provided with a screwthreaded neck 24, the threads whereof register with threads provided in the supporting collars 25. The interior of the neck 24 is bored to form a housing for suitable packing which is 'compressed by a gland 26 and a compression screw cap' 27 to override the same, the threads whereof register with the threads ot' the necks 24, as best seen in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Passing through the capsQT, glands 2G and suitable openings in the cylinders 21-22 are pump rams 28, 28. The rams 28 are each rigidly connected with a loop 29 having formed therein a rectan lar openingr for the slide block 30. he block 30 fills between the yoked ends 31 31 of the pump lever 32 and is pivotally mounted upon the connecting pin 33. lThe pin 33 is secured in position on the ends 31 by acotter pin 34 or other suitable device, the opposite end of the said pin being headed as at 35. The cylinders 21-22 are each sup- The inlet assages 37 and 38 are'controlled by the balll valves 39 and 40, respectively. For convenience of structhe rams the operation of the Said rams 'is' 'timed to the rotation of the shaft 51` and provided. The eccentric ture the main 36 connected with the lower cylinder 22 is directly connected with the up er cylinder 21 b'ya branch p1 e 41. The valii'es 39 and 40 prevent the bac flow from the cylinders 22 and 21. The cylinder 21 delivers through the pine 42 into the chamber 101 of the How motor 100. The cylinder 22 delivers through the branch pipe 44 vdirect to the pipe 42, and to prevent the flow from the pipe 42 and the pipe 44 into the cylinder 2l the same is provided with a back check ball valve 45. The pipe 44 is rovidedwit-h a check valve 54 to prevent ackflow therein to the cylinder 22. The rams 28 are reciprocated by the lever 32, which lever is fulcrumed on the connecting pin 46. The free end of the lever 32 is pivotally connected by' means of the link 47 with the bifurcated eccentric arm 48, the sides whereof are spread as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, being sha ed in cross section to house a portion of tie differen-` tial mechanism with which the regulator is arm 48 is furnished with a collar 49 suitably grooved, as seen in Fig. 4, to receive an annular extension formed'on the rim of the eccentric 50. The eccentric 50 is mounted on the, driving shaft 5l of the engine, which shaft in the present instance 1s suitably mounted in bearings formed in the standards 52 set up on. the Ybase plate or bed 53.

Under normal conditions, such as those depicted in Figs. 1, 2, 11 and 12, the strokes of the rams 28 are utilized to deliver a certain quantity of water to the chamber 101 coincident with and proportioned to the movement of the eccentric 50.. It is by varying the stroke of the rams of water delivered to the chamber 101 is varied.A Under all conditions of stroke of the eccentric 50. To vary the length of the stroke of the .rams 28, 28 and of the end of the lever 32 connected therewith in the present invention the connecting pin 46, constituting the fulcrum for the lever 32, is moved in a path substantiall f parallel with the path of the rams 28 an in conformity with or contrary to the direction of movement of the said rams. These movements of the pin 46 are resultant on the operation vof what is herein termed the differential mechanism, the operation whereof isfcontrol-led by the mechanism styled the flow motor.

The flo-'w motor mechanism- The flow motor. consists primarily of the cylinder 102, the interior compartment whereof is divided from the compartment 101 by a partition plate 103 and a flow controlling mech- .ple 107 and the sleeve 108.

that the quantity `neeted with the gaged by means anism supported in part thereby. 1n the operation of the machine the water is passed from the compartment-101 to the compartment of the cylinder 102, and passed thence by the delivery pipe 104 to the feed pipe 105 having the check valve casing 106 corresponding in construction and function to that disclosed in one of the applications to which cross refer-,ence was above made. The flow of water from the compartment 101 to the cylinder 102 is determined by the nip- 'Ivhe nipple 107 1s tapered, as best seen in Fig. 2, the smallest diameter being at theend of the nipple adjacent the partition plate 103 and the largest diameter being removed from the said plate.' The center bore of the nipple 107 is cylindrical and of even diameter throughout. The sleeve 108 is provided with a \cylindrical bore of an even diameter, the diameter of the sleeve being substantially equal to the largest diameter of the said nipple to substantially close the passage between the said nipple and the said sleeve when the sleeve is raised into juxtaposition with the enlarged portion of the said nipple. The sleeve 108 is adjustably mounted on a floating bell 109 contained within the chamber of the cylinder 102. The bell 109 is lioated in the said cylinder 102 by the pressure of, 96 the water receivedthrough the nipple 107 and is lifted or depressed in the said cylinder as the pressure of the water withil the bell 109 and the water in the cylinder 102' varies. The extent of the lift of the 100 bell 109 is largely determined by the adjustment of the sleeve 10. The adjustment of the sleeve 108 is regulated by the screw thread engagement thereof with the bell 109. By manipulating the sleeve to se- 105 cure the same within the bell 109 the inner edge of thc said sleeve is drawn nearer or removed from the end of the bell 109, and the said edge is brought so much quicker into juxtaposition tothe enlarged portion 110 of the nipple 107, which, as remarked, substantially prevents the passage of water from the compartment 101 to the chamber of the cylinder 102.

l rl'hc bell 109 in the present mechanism is 115 utilized to rotate a sprocket wheel 201 of the differential mechanism with which it is connected by means of the pull rod 110 and the short length of sprocket chain 111.

To counter-balance the lift of the water re- 120 ceived from the pump 20 upon the bell 109 the end of the chain 111 opposite that conrod is engaged by a spiral spring 112. The'spring 112 is enof the hooks 113, 113-tc 125 the eyelets 114l and 115, the latter being o A:lormed'at the end of al screw bolt 11G.

The .screw bolt 116` is threaded ,throughv the perforation formed in a bracket plate 117 extended from the cylinder 102 upon which 130 rests the wing nut 118, the threads whereof register with the threads of the bolt 116. It will be understood that by the usual manipulation of the mit 11S the bolt 11G may be moved to increase or diminish the tension or pull of the spring 112, thereby increasing or diminishing in corn-.spondence the pressure in the bell tilt necessary to lift the Said bell and to rotate the sprocket wheel 201 in conformity with that action. The rod 110 is passed through a perforation in the structure formed on the compartment 101 and through the gland 11.0 and cap nut 120. Vithin the housing and gland is a suitable packing to prevent the leakage about the rod 110 from the compartment 101. The upper end of the rod 110 is provided with a head 121 seated as shown in Fig. 2 within an internalscrew cap 122. To prevent the liftI of the rod 110 independent of the bell 10%), a cap nut 123 is screwed into the cap 122. lVhen thus constructed and arranged, the rod 110 is firmly secured to the bell 100, and is compelled to more therewith.

The operation of the flow motor mecha nism is controlled by a valve 129, which is operatively mounted in a seat formed in the partition 128 of a cylinder' 126, which par tition divides said cylinder into an upper and a lower chamber 125 and 127, respectively. The valve is normally seated by a spiral spring 131. 1t is lifted from its seat by the plunger rod 132. The rod 132 is o eratively connected by the throttledever of t e engine to which the present regulator is connected. The plunger rod 182 is connected with the said throttle lever by a link '133, a lever 134 and a connecting rod 135, as best seen in Fig.6 of drawings, and as fully set forth in the application' 599,175'above referred to. The upper chamberftQ is connected by a pipe 124 with the chamber 101 of the flow motor 100. The lower chamber 127 is connected with the pipe 105, as seen best in Fig. 2 of drawings. The valve 120 is provided with a stem 130, which is gradually tapered from the valve 129, downward to extend within the chamber 127. The stem 130 is thus shaped to the cnd that, as the valve and stein connected therewith are lifted by the operation ot the rod 132, the pasn sage in the partition t28 is gradually enlarged, and this proportionate to the operation of the steam throttlel above referred to. It will be understood that by reason ot` the above-mentioned connection between' the valve 129, the stem 130 and the steam throttle'of the engine, the flow ot the water through the pipes 121 and 103 is propor tioned to the steam consumption ot' the engine under normal conditions. The o )ela tion of the flow motor 100 upon the ditl'erential mechanism controls the operion of the pump'mechanism, to compensate t'or an' excessive or diminished supply of water from the pump 20. Under ordinary conditions, lthe operation of the driving shaft 51 is proportioned to the required ow of Water for conversion into steam in the boiler of the engine for which the present regnlator is designed. Vlien, however, the speed of the shaft 51 is accelerated while the steam consumption is maintained constant or diininished, for instance, during the period of coasting, the operation of the pump is in excess of the demands of the boiler. When, on the other hand, the engine is being employed in hill-climbing, the speed of the shaft is lessened while the steam consuinpA tion is increased. During the period of coasting, the steam throttle is partially or entirely closed, while the speed ot the shatt 51 is accelerated. During the operation of hill-climbing, the steam throttle is thrown wide open, while the speed of the shaft 51 is diminished by the traction load. ln both instances, it is provided by the employment ot' differential mechanism. that the supply ot water delivered through the pipe 105 is varied to meet the exigency of the particular case. lVlien in the former of the instances above mentioned., the deliver)v ot'V water from the pump 2O to the boiler is excessive, the partial or entire closure of the valve 127 eti'ects a congestion in the chamber 101, which, by overbalancing the pressure of water in the chamber 102, lifts the bell 109 of the tiow motor 1.00 to Ishorten the stroke of the pump through the intermediary of the ditterential mechanism. Under the conditions outlined in the second of the abovementioncd instances, the delivery of water from the pump 20 is insutticient; the chamber 101 is drained through the cylinder 126, and the pressure in the chamber 101 is reduced below the pressure in the chamber 102, which imbalance moves the bell 109 and parts connected therewith, to operate the differential mechanism to increase the stroke o f the pump 20, thus supplying the deficiency.

The (Ziferenial mecLmrism/.-The differential mechanism 200 is operativery connected with the tlow inotor mechanism 100 by the sprocket wheel 201. The sprocket wheel 201, as best: seen in Fig. 3 of the drawings, is integrally formed with a cog Wheel 202, the said wheels being spaced apart and rotatably mounted on a bolt 203: The bolt 203 is rigidly secured in the side of a cradle 204. The gadle 204 is pivotally mounted upon pins d5. 20T, the, said cradle being provided with ,bearings formed in brackets 200, 206. The

brackets 200 and bearings formed therein are disposed adjacent one end of the cradle 204. The pins 205 supporting the cradle are tixedly mounted in bifurcated arms 207, 207 fei'ected upon a bracket 208 extended from the. standard 52 supporting the bearing for the driving shaft 51. The cradle 204 is suprted by the link bars 209, 210 and 211. lliche bar 209, as seen in Fig. 3 of the draw ings, is pivotally connected to the pin 46 on the lever 32 and by the pin 212 to the sliding block 213. The sliding block 213 is integrally provided. with a bracket 214 upon which is erected a rack segment 215. It is with the rack segment 215 that on the lower Side thereof the wheel 202 engages. The wheel 202 is engaged on the opposite side thereof with the rack 210 lormcd at the end of a link bar 217. The bar 217 is pivotally connected with a pin 218 which unites the bar 211 and block 219. B v reason of this connection of the rack segment 21.7 and the rack 216 with the ends of tlnl bars 209 and 211 respectively and with the cog wheel 202 mntually. the rotation of the said cog wheel ofthe wheels 201 'and 202 effects the mutual separation and approximation of the said blocks and the ends of the bars 200 and 211 connected therewith. The bar 217 is maintained in engagement with the wheel 202 by means of a roller 22R. The blocks 2155 and 210 are mounted in a link plate 220. the .said platebeing provided equidistant from the center thereof with curved open slots 221, 221. The curves of the slots 221 are each struck from the center of the pins 46 and 222. The bar 210 is pivot-ally connected by a pin 22? with the plate 220 and between the slots 221 thereof.' The said bar 2l() is similarly connected by a. pin 224 with the lever 32 and the link 47. "he bar 210 serves to maintain the relation ofv the lever 32 and the cradle 201.

Vith a diil'crential mechanism thus constructed the operation is as follows z-ln the normal arrangement the bars 209, 21.0 and 211 are disposed substantially as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 1l and 12 of the drawings. It will be noted in this position that the pin 212 is concentric with the pins 205 and that as the cradle 201 is rocked by the operation of thc eccentric 50 the pin 46, which forms the fulcrum for the lever 32, is maintained constant. lt is in this position that the pump is operating under what may be termed its normal conditions. If now the pressure of water in the bell 109 be increased for any of the reasons above recited over the pressure of the water in the chamber of the cylinder 102, with the consequent result that the said bell is lifted, the sprocket wheel 201 and cog wheel 202 connected therewith are rotated the reverse of clockwise. By observing the drawings it will be seen that the racks 215 and 216 are moved to the right and left rcspectively, carrying the blocks 213 and 219 toward the median line of the plate 220, as seen in Fig. 1/1 of the drawings. This nieves the block 213 with the pin 212 on the side of the axis of the pivot pins 205 coincident; with the block 219. W'hen now 'the cradle is lifted by the bar 211 the bar 209 is lifted,.raising l coincidently the pin 46, this beine permitied by the hanger 225 which is pivotally cennected by the eyelet 226 with the pin 40 and by the eyelets in the arms 227 with the frame of the pump 20, by means of the pins extended through the hinge wings 230. In the fall of the bar 211 the pin 46 is carried below the normal position for said pin. This operation of the pin in the same, direction with the bore in the lever 32 results in a diminished stroke of the lever 32 on the rams 28. The operation is equivalent to that which would be caused by moving the fulcrum of the lever 32 toward the pin 33.

It following the action previously described the pressure of water below the bell 100 be lessened to permit the spring 112 `to retract the bell andto reverse the rotation 202, the racks 215 and 210 and the sliding blocks connected therewith are moved in a direction o posits to i that just described. as seen best 1n Fig. 13

of the drawings, with the effect thatthe pin 212 is carried past the axis of the pivot pins 205. vIn this position it will be seen that coincident with the rise of the bar 211 is a depression of the bar 209. The pin 46 being thus depressed coincidently with the rise of the pin 222, or point of power application to the lever 32, the stroke of the end of the lever 32 is augmented. It. will be understood that in the operation of the mechanism above described balance of pressure of wat-er in the bell 109 and the chamber of the cylinder 102 is established under normal working conditions, this being effected by increasing or relieving the stress of the spring 112 by manipulating the nut 118.

Having established this normal condition the subsequent operation of the mechanism is automatic. It will be remembered that in the operation of the feed mechanism under the emergenc condition where the water is by-passed om the chamber 101 through the pipe 124 and cylinder 126, the flow of water through the cylinder 102 and'pipe 104 is moved to its fullest capacity, lbut; this operation also affects the differential mechanism just above described in that by the lowering of the bell 10i) to increase the How through the cylinder 102 the sliding blocks 213 and 219 have been moved to increase to the maximum the stroke of the lever 32 and rams 2S connected therewith. V
